Meet the Staff

Stacy has been an integral member of our dental hygiene team since 2018, contributing her extensive background in the dental field, which spans over 18 years of dedicated experience. Her journey in oral healthcare commenced in 2005 when she embarked on her career as a dental assistant, cultivating invaluable hands-on expertise and nurturing a profound passion for the field.

In 2018, Stacy reached a pivotal milestone in her professional journey by graduating from Taft College, where she earned an Associate of Science degree in Dental Hygiene. Recognizing the paramount importance of continuous education, Stacy committed to further academic growth, culminating in the attainment of her Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Foothill College in 2022. She continued her pursuit of excellence by achieving a Master’s of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of New Mexico in 2023.

Stacy’s unwavering dedication extends to her patient-centered approach. She places the utmost emphasis on ensuring that our patients consistently feel 100% informed and comfortable during their dental visits. To her, there is no greater satisfaction than the opportunity to educate and assist patients in conquering their dental fears, fostering a sense of empowerment and well-being.

In 2011, Stacy embarked on a personal journey of her own, relocating from Southern California to the picturesque Central Coast. In her leisure time, she finds solace in outdoor activities such as hiking and running, often accompanied by her husband and their beloved canine companion, Jacey. Her commitment to both her profession and her personal pursuits reflects her holistic approach to life and well-being.

Michelle has loved being a part of our team since 2014. She graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition from Cal Poly State University in 2009 and completed her Dental Hygiene degree with highest honors from Southwestern College in 2014.  Growing up, she was inspired to enter the field of dentistry by her mother, a passionate and wonderful dentist in San Diego. Her brother has also followed in their mother’s footsteps and recently graduated from dental school!

Michelle deeply values the interdisciplinary and service-spirited approach taken by Dr. Goroski and Dr. Arceo. This approach allows for the most advanced, comprehensive, and compassionate care which aims to improve overall health (systemic and dental) and help our community thrive!  Michelle also has a special interest in Myofunctional Therapy and Airway/Sleep Health as a holistic means to address root causes for dysfunctional breathing and inadequate intraoral development that may be in disharmony or causing incompatibilities. 

Michelle loves being a wife and mom to a wonderful husband and two amazing kiddos. In her spare time, she can be found making sourdough, learning Italian, staying active, and spending time at the ranch with her family and friends.

Shelby has been a part of the team since July 2023! “Working as a dental assistant has given me so many opportunities connecting with those around me. Helping people feel their best has taught me how to take care of myself as well,sharing the knowledge that I have learned so far with family and friends has been my favorite thing to talk about!” Outside of work Shelby enjoys reading, being around family, coaching livestock kids, and loving on her one-eyed fur baby Pippin. Shelby was born and raised in Paso Robles and found a love for agriculture. She was in a local 4H club for 13 years and in Paso Robles High School’s FFA program for 4 years. Learning how to care for livestock has taught her hard work and patience. It has even helped Shelby earn quite a few degrees and awards, one being the FFA American Degree that less than 0.5% of FFA members obtain. She had to put 10,000 hours in projects throughout her 4 years of high school, have over 50 hours in community service, and compete in public speaking contests. Being able to give back to her community has been her biggest accomplishment yet!
